Chapter 1 File System Management
When configuring file system management, go to these sections for information you are interested in:
1.1 File System Overview
The switch provides a file system module for user’s efficient management on the storage devices such as Flash memory. The file system offers file access and directory management, mainly including creating the file system, creating, deleting, modifying and renaming a file or a directory and opening a file.
By default, users are asked for confirmation before executing the commands that might cause loss of files, such as deleting or overwriting a file.
Based on the operated objects, the file system operation can be divided as follows. The following sections describe the file system configuration tasks.
l Setting the Prompt Mode of the File System
& Note:
H3C S9500 series switches (hereinafter referred to as S9500 series) support active/standby SRPU switchover. The two boards both have a program system. The program user can operate the programs on both boards. When you specify the bootstrap APP program for use by the slave board at the next startup, make sure that the URL of the program starts with “slot[No.]#[flash: | cf:]/”, where [No.] is the slave board number, and [flash: | cf:] is the name of the equipment, which can be a flash card of CR card. For example, if the slave board is on slot 1, the URL of 9500.app program on the slave board is “slot1#flash:/9500.app”.
1.2 File System Operations
1.2.1 Directory Operation
The file system can be used to create or delete a directory, display the current working directory, and display the information about the files or directories under a specified directory. You can use the following commands to perform directory operations.
|
To do… |
Use the command… |

Available in user view |
|
Change the current directory |

1.2.2 File Operation
The file system can be used to delete or undelete a file and permanently delete a file. Also, it can be used to display file contents, rename, copy and move a file, and display the information about a specified file. You can use the following commands to perform file operations.
|
To do… |
Use the command… |

|
Execute the specified batch file (system view) |
execute filename |
Available in user view |
Caution:
When you use the delete command without the unreserved option to delete a file, the file is in fact saved in the recycle bin and still occupies some of the storage space. So, frequent use of this command may results in insufficient storage space of the switch. In this case, you should find out the unused files kept in the recycle bin and permanently delete them with the reset recycle-bin command to reclaim the storage space.
& Note:
The directory and file names on the switch have the following limitations:
l The maximum length of a directory or file name is 56 characters.
l The maximum length of a full path name (containing the device name, single directory name and file name) is 136 characters.
l The move command takes effect only when the source and destination files are in the same device.
1.2.3 Storage Device Operation
The Switch supports compact flash (CF) card. After a CF card is inserted successfully, you can use such common commands as dir, cd, copy, delete, move to perform operations on the files in the card. You can also stop the CF card through a command before removing it.
You may be making Write operation to the CF card while directly removing the CF card. Therefore, the Switch provides a CF-removing command, thus ensuring security and consistency of CF operation. That is, you must execute the umount command before removing the CF card.
The system is capable of saving a log in the CF card. If the CF card is not partitioned, a log file is saved under cf:/logfile by default. Otherwise, a log file is saved under log:/logfile by default. The log file is named “logfileX.txt”, where “X” is an integer in the range of 1 to 5.
The log file is recorded in the CF card in text format. You can use the more command to display the log file on the switch.
Caution:
l Before removing the CF card, you must use the umount command first to avoid loss of the data in the buffer.
l After using the umount command, you can remove the CF card from the slot. When inserted, the CF card is enabled automatically.
l When the light of the CF card is steadily on, no data is written to or read from the CF card. But you are recommended not to remove the CF card when power is on, for data may still exist in the buffer.
You can use the format command to format a specified storage device.
The Switch supports the partitioning of the CF card. After the CF card is partitioned, the system startup file and log files are saved in different partitions, thus effectively protecting the startup file from being corrupted.
